Использую этот код, но не все приложения прячутся (в частности, mirc)
Можно ли написать код который загрузит приложение невидимым?

указанные варианты примерно одинаковы, у них есть недостаток: если у скрытого приложения всплывает окно, то оно видно. Если оно автоматически пытается свернуться или развернуться, то станвится видимым. Кстати, можно пойти другим путем: запихнуть приложение в нашу форму и похайдить его. Возможно ли такое? (я видел прогу которая вставлет в любое приложение окошко ie).
